Time sensitive

People don't think about sharing information that might be useful broadly

-TED Talk Stanley McCrystal

Taking the MOCA down to an individual level, and how we work every day, we use this idea of the audience and the value to help understand what belongs where when it comes to communication. So lets start and look at the flow of the information from this individual through the organisation:
Communities are a great place to find and share information, innovate by building on ideas of others and learn by exchanging experiences and skills. This enables leaders across the organisation to keep employees engaged, promoting transparency, diversity and inclusion.

A community is typically coordinated by a community facilitator and offers a number of different ‘needs’ to its members.
+

Healthy communities drive knowledge creation, retention and application across the organisation. They keep the people tapped onto the heart-beat of the everyday and ensure that their wisdom and experience is retained for future generations of employees.

+

For an organisation to be “productive” and imbibe good behaviours, the leadership must develop the right enablement culture through new ways of collaborating, communicating and sharing information - that focuses on creating a learning mindset.

According to research done by Prosci, The #1 obstacle to success for a major change, is ineffective sponsorship.
+
An “Organization” is defined as - Social units (or human groupings) deliberately constructed and reconstructed to seek specific goals by coordinating the actions of their members.

The organisational perspective explore the generic capabilities that need to be established across the wider organisation, and include – the ability to assess organisational behaviour, live broadcasting, corporate communications & news, as well as the ability for people across the different business areas to create their own simple business solutions. Once again, the Microsoft 365 suite of technologies provide a holistic set of tools and applications that enable these core capabilities of every modern organisation.
+
Yammer is the Community Management Platform in Microsoft 365 and we see typically see News, Social and Center of Excellence as the most common type of communities.

----
Now, before we go forward, lets talk about some major differences between a team, and a community.

Let’s reflect on the definition of a team – a group of individuals, with interdependent activities that work together, towards a common goal.

So, the membership of each team member is mandatory, given that there is a dependency on their skills sets and their ability to complete their tasks.

Now think about this – each interdependency within the activity create additional risk towards achieving the outcome, and thus it is critical to manage the team size and the efficiency in team processes.

Research done by the Wharton University of Pennsylvania recommends that the ideal team size is between 5-12 members, which mitigates against the exponential increase in risk and focuses on getting work done.

With communities on the other hand, member is based on your interests. As employees need to tackle different challenges, they community membership also changes. The larger the community, the more perspectives members can benefit from. And where teams focus on outcome delivery, often aligned to the strategic priorities of the organisation, communities are there to ensure that employees are learning, growing, innovating and sharing the organisational experience.
In Microsoft 365, Yammer is the tool to connect and engage people across the organization.
That’s Yammer’s strategic position in the suite.

Yammer provides a set of differentiated superpowers to drive scenarios that are critical for organizations, particularly in these times of hybrid work. Those scenarios include:

Fostering community and connectedness. Yammer uniquely connects people across their working groups and flattens business silos. Yammer enables people to form communities around shared roles, initiatives, topics and interests. Conversations in Yammer are open by default, and Yammer enables people to serendipitously discover and connect valuable content, people and topics across the organization.
Communicating and engaging at scale. Communicators can reach and engage everyone in the organization, at scale. We have customers using Yammer to drive company-wide communications to hundreds of thousands of employees and frontline workers. Communicators can also use communities to define audience segments within an organization, and target messages more effectively. And when you post an announcement in Yammer it will reach your audience across Outlook, Teams, and Viva Connections, across web, PC, Mac, iOS and Android. Importantly, that means Yammer is the omni-channel communications tool in Microsoft 365.
Harnessing knowledge, answers and ideas. Communities are a place where people can come together to share best practices, ask and answer questions, solicit feedback, and generate ideas, together. We see customers getting significant business value with communities around topics, job roles, initiatives, and internal products and services.

Yammer supports these scenarios natively in our web, desktop and mobile apps, and we’re working hard to integrate Yammer’s superpowers and these scenarios into Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, Viva and even into your custom applications and intranets.

So Yammer is about connecting and engaging people across the organization. That broad set of outcomes and those scenarios have become more important than ever over the last 21 months. During the pandemic, organizations clamored to move their work to the cloud. They did a great job of figuring out how to keep work going, and many of you were directly involved with the success of your customers in in moving to the cloud.

But the pandemic also put stresses on organizations outside of individual working groups. It was more than just how do you keep collaborating and meeting in the cloud, but how do you drive culture? How do you drive organization wide communication? How do you break down barriers to share knowledge? How do you encourage people to connect and foster extended networks?
Individual connections have been shown to be critical to employee well being and success.

Those scenarios drove astronomical growth of Yammer over the past 2 years. Yammer now supports tens of millions of people every month, making it one of the largest enterprise communications platforms in the world.

Let’s dive into how we’re enabling community and discovery in your organizations.
